Lisa, one of Malaysia’s most well-known celebrities and a Unicef ambassador, will be speaking at an exclusive event at SK Kota Dalam, Johor, about how to create a kinder environment in schools.

“This campaign is not about highlighting the word ‘bully’, but giving a solution to the problem, which is kindness,” said Lisa who first pledged her support for the campaign during its launch in November.

“It all boils down to how we enforce kindness and empathy in the younger generation, which is why I am happy the campaign is going nationwide. We are trying to get the best possible outreach.”

The event, which will start at 10am, will include a Q&A session with Lisa and former Education Ministry director-general Tan Sri Dr Wan Zahid Mohd Noordin.

Teachers interested in attending need to email a short introduction about themselves and their schools to alltherage@thestar.com.my.

Registration is on a first-come-first-serve basis, and will close on Friday, March 2.

The #StandTogether campaign was developed by R.AGE and property developer SP Setia in response to the spate of horrific bullying and school violence cases last year.

The campaign’s goal is to create a National Kindness Week programme which will be observed by schools every year in the first week of April.
